Several Pioneer Valley High School FFA members recently attended the South Coast Region Chapter Officer Leadership Conference where they learned how to motivate and inspire others to reach their goals in life.
The two-day event, which was held in Hollister, featured several workshops, keynote speakers, lip sync routines, and a dance. Nearly 300 FFA leaders from throughout the region participated.
“The many workshops and activities taught the FFA members to have a positive attitude and stay away from the negative aspects of society, such as drug abuse, low self-esteem, and racism,” said Pioneer Valley FFA reporter Yadira Barrera in a press release. “Everyone gained a new outlook on life, which will definitely make an impact on society.”
FFA advisors also attended a professional development meeting. The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District has more than 1,500 FFA members at Pioneer Valley, Righetti, and Santa Maria high schools.
